Hmmm. depending on where you're at in Leb, you may have the hills in the way. Later.

Putting in the DC of 306 certainly helped on the Pro 97. I was wondering though, that number is not listed in any info, (to include the nw scanner guide), as a tone that is applicable to the LCJ. T
he radio keeps trying to come up with a CTSS tone, but I drove withing spitting distance of the facility and it still was indecisive.

?

That's the neat thing about sharing our info.... it's a lot newer than any of the guides! I guess nobody has submitted it here on RR. Anyway, an interesting thing with DCS codes on the scanners... if you have the scanner in CT (tone squelch) mode and a DCS code is on the transmission, the scanner will try to show a CT code. Especially 136.5.

Why is that?

Well, it drove me crazy before when traveling around and trying to find pl tones. I've heard this explanation before and have seen it happen. Here's a link http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/DCS and it says something about "Motorola calls this Digital Private Line or DPL. It consists of a 23-bit telegram sent repeatedly on the channel at 134 bits per second along with the voice transmission." Maybe the 134 bits per second tricks the scanner into detecting a 136.5 pl?
